Flash freezes in Firefox
http://i38.tinypic.com/j75d20.png
When I try to go to a page like this, the Flash dialog pops up, but I can't click anything. I can't click Allow or Deny, or the question mark. I can't even move the box around and I can't click on anything behind it because it's grayed out. But I can still see the webcam streams going and everything, I just can't participate in it because Flash is frozen.

There has been issues with firefox freezing up in the past. This is due to flash plugin problems. Let me know if you figure this thing out, as I'm interested in the answer myself.  |

What version of Firefox are you using? 32-bit or 64? Is your system 32-bit or 64? Is Flash enabled or disabled in Firefox?

Firefox 2.0.0.18
32-bit, and my system is 32-bit.
Flash is enabled of course, or else I wouldn't be able to see it and it's in about  lugins as well (there is the libflash.so thing in my ~/.mozilla/plugins too) |

I resolved my problem with Firefox and Flash by going back from Flash 10 to Flash 9.47.
The following link downloads the FlashPlayer 9 archive. It is a large file containing several versions. I found it as is while searching but can't actually get to a site or directory that houses it.
